and protliorax studded (but not very closely) with small tubercles, most numerous at 

 the sides of the latter, from each of which arises a short, reddish, setose hair ; inter- 

 stices at the sides (and less perceptibly at the base) tliinly clothed with very minute, 

 pale, scale-like hairs ; costse and elevated reticulations on the elytra similarly disposed 

 as in anidioides, but thicker, more elevated, strongly tubercled, naked, the tubercles 

 thereon alone putting forth a short, setose, reddish hair ; intervals more or less dis- 

 tinctly rugose, not closely tubercled, closely minutely granulose ; a broad space on 

 the middle, and the epipleuroe, naked, the rest more or less thickly clothed with a 

 short, cinereous, squamosa pubescence ; under-side sparsely studded with small 

 tubercles, from each of which arises a short, yellowish, decumbent, setose hair ; the 

 interstices more or less thickly (most on the prostcrnum), clothed with a nunute, 



pale golden, squamose pubescence.

We owe the discovery of tliis species to M. Leon Lagiaize, to 

 wliom I dedicate it. 



The deeply notched labrum and epiatoma, the mandibles entire at 

 apex, and the semi-nude upper surface, "will readily serve to separate 

 this species from P. asidioiJes. 



Deloo>'atha BEEviconxis, sj). n. 



Smaller than D. Lacordairii, the eye-orbits more prominent, not oblique, stand- 

 ing out at right angles to the sides of the head, not aui-icvdiform, simply indented or 

 concave at the apex ; antennary orbits not produced in front into a long, conical 

 tubercle ; epistoma distinctly emarginate in front ; labrum much shorter, and emar- 

 giuate at apex ; mandibles shorter, broader, backwardly (as well as inwardly) curved ; 

 having a large blunt tooth, at the middle of the inner side, to each mandible, but 

 largest and most distinct (when viewed from above) to the left mandible ; the inner 

 apical tooth not continuous with the side ; the outer or upper edge semi-circularly 

 emarginate ; the meutum has not that well-defined, sub-triangular convexity on the 

 outer face, and the sides are much more narrowly foliaceous, or attenuate ; antenna? 

 much shorter, the three last joints relatively larger and broader, and forming a more 

 abrupt club ; punctures on head and prothorax much stronger, less numerous ; sides 

 of prothorax anteriorly a little more rounded, the lateral reflexed margins narrower, 

 very strongly crenulate, almost dentate ; elytra more strongly punctate or crenate- 

 striate, the intervals more convex ; prosternal process not compressed nor carinate 

 behind ; under-side more coarsely punctm*ed ; sides of abdomen rugosely punctured.

Sah. : Espirito Santo ; one example. 



A very distinct species ; the eyes and their orbits standing out at 

 right angles to the sides of the head (like two short cylinders) and 

 the simple, rounded antennary orbits will, at a glance, serve to dis- 

 tinguish this species from Lacordairii. In both species the intervals 

 on the elytra are im2:)unctate.
